Chicken bath

[mtcookie]

I did two things today I never thought I would ever do. LOL

First was give a chicken a bath.

My RIR who I love had a ton of poop stuck to her back feathers. So I brought her in for a bath.
She was so cute. She just sat there letting me put water on her butt. All while looking at me with her big yellow eyes. MOM what are you doing to me.

Second thing is to ever blow dry a chicken. LOL
The dang thing loved it. ROFL. She just sat there on my lap letting me blow dry her butt. She would turn for me to get the other side as well. Never leaving me.
Now she is sitting in my lap waiting to go back to the coop with her other feather butt friends.

Did you use a sprayer? I can't picture how you'd wash a chicken!

I'm picturing in the bathtub with a hand held sprayer?

I just held her butt up to the warm tub water faucet. If it was any of my other ladies they would have freaked. This one is so sweet she would let you do anything with her.

Shucks... if I ever get one in a sink, it's gonna get some mild shampoo!

There is thread on here somewhere about how to wash a chicken...you use kitten shampoo.
